Texas State University expels student who mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination during campus memorial

Texas State University has expelled a student who was caught on video mocking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a campus memorial. According to The Guardian, in the clip, the student is seen slapping his neck repeatedly, calling himself Charlie Kirk, and re-enacting the moment Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. He even climbed onto a statue, pretended to collapse, and said: Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, b---h. The video quickly spread online and sparked outrage. Texas governor Greg Abbott weighed in, demanding the students immediate removal. Mocking assassination must have consequences, he posted. By Tuesday afternoon, Texas States president, Kelly Damphousse, released a statement calling the behavior disturbing and confirmed the individual was no longer a student. The school declined to release the name, citing federal privacy law. The incident comes just days after Texas Tech University also expelled an 18-year-old student for disrupting a vigil for Kirk. In that video, the student was heard yelling, F--- yall homie dead, he got shot in the head. Both expulsions highlight how schools across Texas are cracking down on students making remarks or stunts about Kirks killing. Since the fatal shooting, disciplinary actions have extended beyond campuses, with journalists, civil servants, and even a Secret Service employee losing their jobs over related comments. While some officials, including Gov. Abbott, argue such behavior crosses the line, teachers unions in Texas have criticised the wider investigations as a political witch hunt targeting educators for personal social media activity.  The post Texas State University expels student who mocked Charlie Kirks assassination during campus memorial appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
